James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

I will be brief as I do not want to delay the House. I have asked the Taoiseach, and the Minister for Health and Children beside him, about head shops in the past and bringing in legislation to coerce them into putting their products through the Irish Medicines Board and the Food Safety Authority. The Minister has acted, which is welcome, but what I warned of has happened. I have in my hand the latest product from the head shop in Malahide, which is a cocaine substitute.
